Tucson. It’s a city with a unique character and cultural influences. Its neighborhoods are peppered with distinctive architecture and fun, funky houses. But like most cities, Tucson faces a very real need – a need to ensure that everyone has a safe and decent place to call home. And in the communities where homes are older and exposed to the harsh desert climate, that need is very visible. That’s why Habitat for Humanity Tucson is not only committed to building new homes, but also has specific programs to repair existing homes. T. VanHook joins us to discuss the positive impacts that even a minor home repair project has on revitalizing communities. If you are hungry for good news and news that really matters, listen now!

This Foundation is the official fundraising partner of Yellowstone National Park. It was started in 1996 by a group of concerned citizens working with the National Park Service to protect, preserve and enhance one of the most amazing places on earth: Yellowstone National Park. Since their inception, they have raised over $100 million for the Park and have funded over 325 Park projects. The Foundation is dedicated to insuring that our very first national park endures forever. Join me as Heather White, a passionate, brilliant and strategic leader, shares with us the Foundation’s six strategic initiatives and how they are working to ensure that they have the funds and resources necessary to carry out the Foundation’s mission including the launch of their Yellowstone Forever Campaign.

Thrift shopping is not only a choice that is healthy for the planet but it’s also an answer to the consumerism that has pushed Americans’ spending habits to the max. It has also taken its toll on the nation’s resources and financial stability. Judith and Michael will help raise our awareness about the positive aspects of second-hand shopping and discuss the benefits of donating, including shrinking landfills, reducing clutter and actually boosting the economy. Given that the fashion industry is one of the major sources of pollution globally, it begs the question – is there a downside to thrifting? Let’s all learn why it matters to all of us! This show made possible due to the generous support of Goodwill Industries of Southern Arizona.

In the summer of 2006, while on vacation in Seattle with her two teenaged children, Leianna and Noa, Calley O’Neill took her children to the zoo for the first time. She was moved and inspired by the Woodland Park Zoo, opening her mind to what zoos could be. Calley had been strongly drawn to visit Portland, because of its global reputation as a model green city. On their weekend trip to Portland, they visited the Oregon Zoo, arriving at the elephant barn at the exact moment when Rama began his Sunday painting demonstration with keeper Jeb Barsh. As soon as Rama started painting, Calley was overwhelmed by a vision of an international travelling exhibition on endangered species that would reach millions of people. She knew in her bones that she had to work with him! And so she did and so began the Rama Exhibition – an epic journey of art and soul for the earth. Join us to hear about this spectacular, amazing and compelling journey from one incredible and amazing human being. This show made possible due to the generous support of The Fairfax Companies.

That’s a long title but Kai and his colleagues are building something big. The CELDF is building a movement for Community Rights and the Rights of Nature to advance democratic, economic, social and environmental rights and they are doing it by building upward from the grassroots to the state, federal, and international level. Begun as a traditional public interest law firm seeking to protect the environment, CELDF sought to protect communities from projects such an incinerators and waste dumps which cause environmental harm. Along the way, they encountered barriers put in place by both government and corporations. Such barriers included corporate constitutional “rights” and the preemptive authority of state government – both of which are used to override community decision making. Kai will share with us some examples of the ways that CELDF is fighting the good fight – for all of us and for Mother Earth. Another “I cannot wait” show for Mrs. Green. This show made possible due to the generous support of Habitat for Humanity.

I embarrass myself when I am around Ben Simon. How can someone so young have such vision, such ability to articulate and then execute that vision and then have another great vision and move forward to execute again – all with the purpose of making our world a better place? Yes – I gush and Ben deserves it. I met Ben when he was the Executive Director of the Food Recovery Network. He left it in good hands soon after his graduation from college and founded Imperfect Produce – America’s leading brand for ugly produce. Ben found out that every year, 20% of fruits and vegetables grown in the U.S. never make it off the farm due to tiny cosmetic challenges that don’t affect taste or quality. They are considered ugly or imperfect. Imperfect buys produce that falls short of grocery stores’ strict cosmetic standards and sells it for a 30-50% discount to fight food waste. Join me to find out why, in their first 3 months, Imperfect was covered by NPR, PBS NewsHour, NBC, Bloomberg Business, Today Show, LA Times, The New York Times, and the front page of the SF Chronicle. It’s a story worth hearing about. This show made possible due to the generous support of the Chapman Automotive Group.

Leslie is a social architect and activist committed to community healing and transformation. How are we learning to get along so that we and our great-great-grandchildren of all species can thrive? How will Leslie’s life-long quest for healthy communities, taking her from roaming the outdoors in her rural hometown, through a Stanford MSEE and engineering management career, around the world backpacking (twice!), deep into the realm of motherhood and volunteering, and along an eclectic spiritual path provide us with insights as to how to create a Global Culture of Peace? What are we to learn from Gaiafield Project and why is it so important that we do? I hope you will join me. This show made possible due to the generous support of the Chapman Automotive Group.
